It is without a doubt that pizza is one of the most delicious foods in the whole world. From teenagers or adults, we are guilty of having a greasy slice at a time of the day when we probably shouldn’t have.

Every city of every country has given their own twist on the dish, sometimes re-writing the very DNA that makes the basics of a pizza.

Pizza has become a popular staple food in America. There are dozens of different styles of pizza available throughout the country. Some hark back to the original method for making pizza in Naples (the great Neapolitan style), yet most have a modern and Americanized twist to them. New York, Detroit, St. Louis, New Haven, and, obviously, Chicago all have their own trademark pizza styles, and different styles, including bar pie, grandmother, and Sicilian-style, are well known across the nation.

To prevent unwanted burning, the toppings are arranged from bottom up, that is cheese is at the bottom and the tomato sauce at the top, with the rest of the meat and other condiments stuffed in the middle. This unique procedure gives the Chicago pizza its distinct look and taste.
